Love my car

This is my first Audi. Before buying I drove a BMW 328i xdrive and a Mercedes c class. They were all very nice cars but I fell for the Audi and love it. Most of the complaints that I read are about the shifter and the way you have to put it in Park, but I think that Audi got that right. It is easy and intuitive. I don't understand the people that complain about it. It works so much better than the conventional system. It is so quiet inside. The ride is fantastic. Handles great. My son borrowed it for a couple days. He told me that on his way home from work he found himself taking the longest route available so he could just drive it longer. It's the first car I've had that when I have nothing to do, I just take it and go for a drive.

Comfort and performance

This car does have that balance of comfort and sporty drive. BMW may be sportier, while Lexus may be more comfort, for me this is the best of both worlds. I've only had two weeks but love the ride, acceleration, and he included features. Comfortable seats. Nice cockpit. Overall exterior design is great. Only negative as some have mentioned is that there appears to be some kind of lag when first hitting the accelerator which I'm still getting used to. But once it gets going, even the 190hp engine is pretty decent.

First Sedan in 20 Years!

In 2011, I was beginning to look around for a new car, I liked what I drove, but no longer needed a mini-van or a crossover. Test drove a BMW and a Ford. The Expedition wasn't any thing special, and the BMW salesman was so snooty that wouldn't have bought a soda from him. My husband suggesting looking at the Audi dealership. I wasn't too thrilled, he had a 1985 Audi when we first married, and it wasn't very reliable. Imagine my surprise when I test drove a 2012 Q5. It was fabulous, never had any trouble with it, decent gas mileage and was fun to drive. After 4.5 years with my Q5 I felt like it was time to trade it in while I had a lot of equity in it (Retained its value very well ) The new A4 was just starting to be talked about. I test drove one of the first ones my dealership got, and feel in love. It handles exceptionally well, I can zip around those land yachts! I am equally impressed with the gas mileage - about 30 mpg in mixed trips. It is a different feeling getting in a car lower than a SUV, but I have gotten used to it. Very pleased with this model.

Have driven BMWs, Jaguars, and Acuras before, and this 2017 Audi A4 with the virtual cockpit is one nice car. While the ride is firm, the driving feels light and with purpose. The acceleration is exhilarating and fast. The braking is trusted and precise. Maneuvering this car is so effortless, it makes race car drivers out of everyone. The overall external look is understated yet well designed with luxury and sportiness in mind. The internal is simple and nicely laid out but with technology oozing and quality materials and standard leather seats cradling you every time you drive. The MMI is simply the best and easiest to use. I'm running out of superlatives to use, but don't just read this review, go and actually drive one, and all the others like BMWs and the Benzes, and you will more than likely come to the same conclusion. UPDATE: After over a year of driving the A4, it still drives so fine and fast. Had my yearly maintenance. No issues found. The A4 is such an amazing machine that you don't have to think about or even worry that something will conk out. Acceleration is still fluid and fast. Transmission shifts crisply. Car electronics works as advertised. Yay to the A4. A solid and refined sporty car. Update: it’s been 9 months and I’m still loving my A4. It’s like coming home when I get into it. All the controls are in the right place. It’s still zippy fast and the gas mileage compared to my previous Acura MDX has been a godsend. It’s very easy to love the A4. It just works and it does it very well.

A4 ultra. A great commuter car

I test drive the A4 Quattro, and my A4 ultra. I have to admit the Quattro may be faster, but I am a commuter. The ultra is exactly the same as the interior, cheaper, and the same reliability and guaranty than the Quattro. Also excellent millage, 33 to 35 miles to the gallon and super stable. Thus, if you are a commuter the ultra is OUTSTANDING. A great experience, only that the car is slower in acceleration for 2 seconds. NO ONE (without tickets) speed up like that. Thus, I am extremely happy.
